The story so far…

The X-Structure is a virtual electronic band that was formed in the Cape of Good Hope, Cape Town, South Africa, during the dark winter months of 2008.

The bands consists of four wild and adventurous members who all share a passion for life and a flair for exploration and adventure. Their style progresses back and forth and takes inspiration from all parts of life, both now and back then. A common thread however can be found in their music and can be describes as trip-hop, downtempo,chillout, cinematic, electronica, breakbeat, and even experimental, and finally their very own coined genre, space-trip; or so they would like to think. Their greatest inspiration is God, everything that is seen and unseen, and through this their music is an expression of philosophical ideals and spontaneous musical creation.

Within the band each member’s personality is reflected in the instruments they play. Each member also possesses uniquely honed skills that are invaluable to the them when out in the field.

Starrzan is the front-man who plays the leads and adds the occasional subversivevocals to the mix. Chacma is on the drums and plays anything he can tap a beat on.Nightowl creates the mood and atmospheric soundscapes through keys and strings.Epic Beard is old and wise and plays the bass.

Their albums retell the tales of the adventures, challenges and revelations they face in life. During 2008 they released two full length albums, Westcoast Trip and days of night, featuring a diverse array of musical style. They also tried their hand at experimenting with a remix album where they remixed the vocals of artist Shannon Hurley into what is now known as The Remix Experiment Part 01.

In early 2009 they joined the ranks of Bushmen Records, an all South African underground music netlabel, and released their second full length album, days of night, through them.

Their 6th album, Redux, was released in June 2009 and again took their music to another level of earthly proportion. Later that year they completed a 4 track album called The Album, which featured the vocal talents of Jade Wang. 

During September 2009 the band’s frontman, Starrzan, was involved in a motorbike accident whilst on a mercy mission on the streets of Bellville. This gave him some much needed rest but at the cost of a broken leg and smashed knee. He took this time to reflect on his life a bit more, in between watching episodes of Samurai Jack. Almost a year after their last release they finally released their long awaited album Doxology. This album was jointly released by South African netlabel, Bushmen Records, and the Italian netlabel, 51beats. Through this joint release the album was downloaded by many people from around the world and enjoyed great success.All of their albums can be downloaded, for free, from their website,http://thexstructure.com.
